March 4th, 2015 is World Read Aloud Day, a very important day started by Pam Allyn, the founder of LitWorld and an ambassador for our Open a World of Possible literacy initiative. Pam sought to elevate the conversation around reading aloud and to the need for universal access to books, so this day is dedicated to that cause. We are so proud to have her join us on March 4th to speak more about it! Details below!
Twitter Chat: Reading Aloud
Join Pam Allyn and author Kwame Alexander (who just won the Newbery Medal for The Crossover) for a Twitter chat at 10am ET on March 4th. They'll be taking over @Scholastic to chat with parents and teachers, share tips, and answer questions.
PBS NewsHour Chat: Reading Aloud
Then from 11am-12pm ET, Scholastic's own parenting expert Maggie McGuire will host a Facebook chat with PSB NewsHour around the subject of reading aloud, and how parents can engage their kids around reading in easy, meaningful ways every day. Maggie will be joined by Pam Allyn and Dr. Perri Klass from Reach Out and Read. Come prepared with questions!
